Come, O God of all the earth:
Come to us, O Righteous One;
Come, and bring our love to birth:
In the glory of your Son.

Sing out, earth and skies!
Sing of the God who loves you!
Raise your joyful cries!
Dance to the life around you!

Come, O God of wind and flame:
Fill the earth with righteousness;
Teach us all to sing your name:
May our lives your love confess.
 
Come, O God of flashing light:
Twinkling star and burning sun;
God of day and God of night:
In your light the battle's won!

Come, O God of snow and rain:
Shower down upon the earth;
Come, O God of joy and pain:
God of sorrow, God of mirth.

Come, O Justice, Come, O Peace:
Come and shape our hearts anew;
Come and make oppression cease:
Bring us all to life in you.

Good people all, this Christmas time
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending His beloved Son.
Then let us all both sing and pray
To God with love this Christmas Day;
In Bethlehem upon that morn
There was a blest Messiah born.

The night before that happy tide
The noble virgin and her guide
Were long time seeking up and down
To find a lodging in the town
But mark right well what came to pass:
From ev’ry door repelled, alas!
As was foretold, their refuge all
Was but a humble ox’s stall

Let all your songs and praises be
Unto His heav’nly majesty
And evermore amongst our mirth
Remember Christ our Savior’s birth.
That night the virgin Mary mild
Was safely delivered of a child
According unto Heav’n’s decree
Man’s sweet salvation for to be.

Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep
To whom God’s angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear.
“Prepare and go,” the angels said,
“To Bethlehem, be not afraid;
For there you’ll find, this happy morn,
A princely Babe, sweet Jesus born.”

With thankful heart and joyful mind
The shepherds went the Babe to find
And as God’s angel had foretold
They did our Savior Christ behold.
Within a manger He was laid
And by His side the virgin maid
Attending to the Lord of Life
Who came on earth to end all strife

There were three wise men from afar
Directed by a glorious star
Came boldly on and made no stay
Until they came where Jesus lay.
And when they came unto that place
And looked with love on Jesus’ face
In faith they humbly knelt to greet
With gifts of gold and incense sweet

Come let us then our tributes pay
To our good God as well we may
For all His grace and mercy shown
Through His Son till then to us unknown;
And when through life we wind our way
‘Mid trials and suff’rings day by day
In faith and hope, whate’er befall
We’ll wait in peace His holy call

All nations clap your hands
And unto God in triumph shout!
How awesome is the LORD Most High,
Great King the earth throughout!
Beneath our feet He has subdued
The nations all about!
Praises sing! Sing your praises unto God! Sing His praise!
Lift your voices and sing praises to our King!

He chose us as our inheritance
Our homeland there is found
He gave us this in Jacob
Unto whom His love abounds.
God has ascended in the midst
Of shouts and joyful sounds!
Praises sing! Sing your praises unto God! Sing His praise!
Lift your voices and sing praises to our King!

The LORD ascended while the
Trumpets rang with happy tone!
For God is King of all the earth
Sing praise to Him alone.
God rules the nations; God is seated
On His holy throne.
Praises sing! Sing your praises unto God! Sing His praise!
Lift your voices and sing praises to our King!
 
The princes and the nobles of the
Nations now draw nigh
As people of the God
Of Abraham, they unify
For this world’s shields belong to God,
He is exalted high!
Praises sing! Sing your praises unto God! Sing His praise!
Lift your voices and sing praises to our King!

Numbers 34

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only-begotten Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hades.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits
at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He shall come to judge
the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

Break forth O beauteous heavenly light
And usher in the morning
O shepherds shudder not with fright
But hear the angel's warning
This child now weak in infancy
Our confidence and joy shall be
The power of Satan breaking
Our peace eternal making

Break forth O beauteous heavenly light
To herald our salvation
He stoops to earth the God of might
Our hope and expectation
He comes in human flesh to dwell
Our God with us Immanuel
The night of darkness ending
Our fallen race befriending

The Light of Life descended to the world He made
The ageless Rock of Ages in a manger laid
Behold the Word that bore our flesh
The heart of God inside an infant's chest

The Infinite incarnate in a virgin's hands
The radiance of the Father in the Son of Man
Behold the peace that pierced the night
The hope of nations in a baby's cry

Emmanuel glory in the highest
Emmanuel Heaven here beside us
God Himself with us now to dwell
(Emmanuel)

The sinless King of Heaven
Crowned with guilt and shame
The Cornerstone was fastened to a wooden frame
Behold Lamb that crushed our curse
And died to pay the price of our rebirth

Light in darkness might for meekness
All the glory be to Jesus
Love has sought us grace has reached us
All the glory be to Jesus

O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees O hear the angel voices
O night divine O night when Christ was born

Humbly He lay Creator come as creature
Born on the floor of a hay-scattered stall
True Son of God yet bearing human feature
He entered earth to reverse Adam's fall
In towering grace He laid aside His glory
And in our place was sacrificed for sin

Fall on your knees O hear the gospel story
O night divine O night when Christ was born

Come then to Him who lies within a manger
With joyful shepherds proclaim Him as Lord
Let not the Promised Son remain a stranger
In reverent worship make Christ your Adored
Eternal life is theirs who would receive Him
With grace and peace their lives He will adorn

Fall on your knees receive the Gift of heaven
O night divine O night when Christ was born

Luke 17:26-37

What Child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ, the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come, peasant, king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
